Im Füchschen Brewery (Brewery at the Little Fox), Dusseldorf

The Brewery at the Little Fox (Brauerei im Füchschen) is a legendary microbrewery in Dusseldorf's Old Town, committed to upholding the proud tradition of Dusseldorfer beer. Established as early as 1640, this iconic brewery has been refining its house specialty, Fuchschen Altbier, since 1848 using a family recipe that’s won acclaim for generations. Stepping into the brewery, you’re not just tasting beer but savoring history, with each sip tracing back through centuries of brewing expertise.

Throughout its storied past, the brewery has been resilient. Bought by Theodor and Louise Konig in 1908, it faced wartime hardship, with its cherished copper kettles removed during World War I, and was later rebuilt after being bombed in World War II. The brewery reopened in 1950 under Peter and Johanna Konig, and since then, the Little Fox has become a beloved fixture, drawing fans from all walks of life, including icons like Joseph Beuys and Udo Jurgens.

Today, the Brewery at the Little Fox remains one of only eight Dusseldorf breweries to craft Altbier on-site—a testament to its commitment to quality, tradition, and the unmistakable charm of Dusseldorfer craft beer.
